Opportunity Analysis Team Project
This is a ten-week long team project where students investigate an entrepreneurial opportunity, keeping in mind the key distinctions between an "idea" and an "opportunity". Teams analyze, thoroughly illustrate and document a pressing market need that has potential to be solved with a high technology product or service. More information can be found here.
 
   
Discussion Questions
In addition to preparing for their own presentations, teams are encouraged to visit the websites of other teams contain information about their projects so that students can be prepared to ask each other educated questions after each presentation.
